00:00On Sunday, Netanyahu spoke with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
00:05Egypt has also floated a new proposal aimed at restoring the Gaza ceasefire deal.
00:12Is there any signal on when these negotiations are going to restart
00:17and if Israel is prepared to be involved?
00:21Well, Israel has found itself having to resume the military campaign
00:26because Hamas was refusing to release the hostages.
00:29Israel wanted to extend the ceasefire.
00:31It agreed to two American proposals to extend the ceasefire.
00:36Well, carry on the ceasefire and in exchange Hamas will give back hostages.
00:40And Hamas resumed.
00:42So Israel found itself resuming military action
00:44because otherwise Hamas was getting a ceasefire for nothing.
00:48And Israel is saying it will be willing to go back to negotiations
00:51on going back to the ceasefire if Hamas is serious about releasing hostages,
00:55not if it's just trying to drag out the talks
00:57to buy time and remain in power in Gaza plotting for the next round of war.
